In collaboration with Goodwill Industries and the New York City Department of Youth and Community Developments Cornerstone Program, Groundswell artists designed a mural honoring volunteerism and community for the Farragut Houses Community Center. The mural was created as part of “Be Amazing: Stand Up and Volunteer” week, a city-wide campaign hosted by The Amazing Spider-Man movie. Artists Chris Soria and Esteban Del Valle worked with dozens of volunteers to execute this mural during the day-long celebration. The artists used a comic book style for the design, layout, and typography, inspired by the original Spider-Man comics. Cast from The Amazing Spider-Man joined the celebration and lent a helping hand. Outside of the Community Center, the festivities continued with booths, food, and games.
